OVERVIEW
BackÇ1round:
In 1994, the Kansas Legislature passed a law allowing local communities to designate
neighborhood revitalization areas within which certain incentives are created to encourage
capital investment which otherwise might not occur in these areas of historic importance
which are subject to physical deterioration and/or other economic challenges. The law
also allows designation of certain historical or significant individual structures to be eligible
for incentives. The incentive method authorized by the State involves property tax rebates
for all or a portion of the incremental increase in taxes paid due to hiqher assessed
valuation resultinq from the improvements. Because rebates only apply to the increase in
value, net taxes will never be lower than existing taxes prior to redevelopment. This
incentive may make certain projects more financially feasible, thus bringing investment to
the revitalization area which otherwise might not occur. Ultimately, all these
redevelopments will begin paying the full taxes without rebates.
The City of Salina and other local taxing jurisdictions have had a Neighborhood
Revitalization Plan and program in affect since 1996, with significant success in
redevelopment.
After careful review and the required public hearing, the 2004-2008 Neighborhood
Revitalization Plan was completed with an implementation effective date of January 1,
2004 and an ending date of December 31,2008. It is subject to amendment as
during its term.
Key Features:
.
The program is designed for targeted areas most in need of incentives for investment,
or specific historic buildings. The focus is primarily on downtown areas and the north
Santa Fe corridor for commercial/industrial projects and the northern part of Salina for
residential projects.
.
A map of the revitalization area is included in the plan.
.
The maximum rebate in the Salina plan is 100% for five years; 50% for the next five.
Percentages vary by specific redevelopment types.
